Bill Wyman & The Bass Centre Wyman Bass

Sunday, 3 June 2012 | Dave Good

Bill Wyman stepped out last night with his trusty Bass Centre "Wyman" Bass, to hitch up with his old Rolling Stones bandmate Ronnie Wood, to entertain revellers at snooker ace Jimmy White's testimonial.

Celebrating the Whirlwind's 50th birthday, as well as his illustrious career, the all-day junket at London's Grosvenor Hotel included a slap-up dinner, a challenge match between Jimmy and Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan, tributes from a host of fellow snooker world champions as well as an amazing show from an all-star band featuring Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, drummer Andy Newmark, keyboard players Andy Wallace and Geriant Watkins and Simply Red mainman, Mick Hucknall.

Here's Bill with the "Wyman" Bass, joining Ronnie Wood, drummer Andy Newman and Mick Hucknall for a great version of the Valentine Brothers' classic "Money's Too Tight To Mention"...
